Slightly unusual situation i need help with. I am running an RDS server as a virtual server it's working fine. So the drive is a VHD file rather than a physical drive.
We have a group policy that we accidentally applied to the server which cleans up "user profiles" after x days.
When the user logged in after a month they got a new profile as expected (as old one deleted) and new but very EMPTY documents folder. Huge problem for us.
When I run Recuva on the VHD attached to the host or directly logged in to the server I cannot see much of the users profile to recover. Mainly C:\USERS\%username%\appdata.
There are a number of .SQL, .CSPROJ, .VBPROJ or .SLN files that are critical.
The server itself doesn't have a huge amount of activity, only a few users and almost all data is stored elsewhere so not much being written back to the drive.
I work for a UK charity and this lost data is critical.
We are usually very careful with our backups but this server was never supposed to have data written to it.
